Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ditmas Park
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.8/10. This is renter territory: 95% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. SNAP participation runs 24.9% against 15.2% nationally.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,051 filings here across 7 tracked years. It sits 0.7 points above the Kings County average of 9.2.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Filings peaked in 2000 at 23.7% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 20.6% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
